“…a fast-paced romantic comedy of classic proportions.” - The New York Times
Five daughters to marry off! An eighteenth century catastrophe in the making. Oh, Mrs. Bennet, whatever will you do? Mr. Darcy, rich, handsome and eligible, would be a great catch but Elizabeth spurns his unexpected proposal. Elaborate balls, hunting parties, and the trading of smoldering looks and witticisms propel Darcy and Elizabeth on a bumpy ride to the altar.
One of the world’s greatest novels, Jane Austen’s marvelously smart and romantic tale is transformed for the stage! Reflecting on the complex world of the wealthy and “less fortunate”—and how pride and prejudice can live in us all—Austen’s timeless story proves that the game of love, marriage and money is endless.
